The youngsters are getting a little chippy, and Dabo Swinney is okay with that. The Clemson football team went through practice number two of the spring Wednesday afternoon, and it didn’t take long for the news to leak out that freshman tackle Mitch Hyatt got into a scrum of sorts with one of the defensive players. Seeing his good friend involved in a tussle, freshman tackle Jake Fruhmorgen swooped in to help out his roommate, earning a loud cheer and whoops from the veteran offensive linemen. Full Story »

O'Daniel, Boulware and Goodson will start at LB

I'm pretty suprised that they've moved Ebo to SDE. He must have added mroe weight this off season if they oved him over there. I would make more sense for Lawson to move over then Ebo from a size and weight standpoint

We need more of this, IMO! More OL with an attitude and willing to mix it up when the situation calls for it. These guys are giving it all to be Tigers, and I appreciate their generosity. I want OL that will fight for each other and for the team! Hold on folks, this is gonna get good. Soon!!!

Both Hyatt and Fruhmorgen will play tackle. They are too tall to move inside. As for them teaching Mac Lain toughness, he is probably the last person on the team that needs a lesson in toughness. You have to remember that he came to Clemson as a tight end so he's had to work to put on weight and learn a new position.

Amen, Brother! My thoughts exactly when I consider what Clemson is bringing to the table, er... the field, this and the next few years. "Just shut up and let me breathe!" Even the cynical and unerringly level headed (but ever orange and hopeful) skeptics can't deny the potential. And it sounds like Ben Boulware + Eric MacClain = strong leadership on both sides of the line. Go Tigers! Can't wait. Just trying to catch my breath....

IMO this is saying two freshman OL are being groomed to play this year and that we're going all in to be in the playoffs, even if a redshirt year would have benefited. Added depth on the OL is all that was lacking.

Oh they will play, and often, unless Falcinelli, Hearn or Morris step up. We can't start over in 2016 with the OL. '15 and '16 are our best shots at a title, and we need guys to get experience and develop this year. Fruhmorgen and Hyatt will be ready. Don't sleep on Geilla and Green either. In 2016 we will see Hyatt, Geilla, Guillermo, Green and Fruhmorgen man the best OL in CFB
